On May 15, the mts bonus closes. MTS ruined the bonus program “MTS Bonus. If there are not enough points

MTS has had the MTS-Bonus program since time immemorial. She worked like this. Every time you topped up your account or kept more money on it than you need to pay for the tariff, you were awarded some points.

These points are slowly but surely accumulating. You can spend them on several things:

Of all such "loyalty programs", MTS has had the most interesting ways to spend bonuses. I went to their menu repeatedly and managed to save not only on communications (for example, I made myself free traffic), but also tangible things. I customized the same pendants for a friend.

But over the past year and a half, MTS-Bonus has been quietly "poor", losing the most interesting points of "cashing out" bonuses. Now it became clear why.

The MTS-Bonus program has closed today, all bonuses have been canceled

Yesterday was the last day of the MTS-Bonus program. Information about this hangs in the corresponding section of the application.

All bonuses that were not spent before midnight, burned out today.

MTS did not offer any normal replacement for this program. Almost.

Instead of MTS-Bonus, they now offer to use the service MTS Cashback. But it works in a completely different way. Instead of just paying a tariff, there you need to spend money on purchases and services offered by the service.

Considering how many similar services already exist on the Internet, I personally don’t see any point in using MTS Cashback. And the offers are there. absolutely nothing.

It's sad, but happy at the same time. Now it will be a little easier for me personally to leave MTS.

I am not writing here in the hope that something will change - our operators are impenetrable, if they make a decision, they will not change anything. Just an example of how we are slowly being deprived of good things for the sake of profit.

One of the leading Russian operators cellular communication MTS has long launched a bonus program for its customers. Its participants received a certain number of points with each replenishment of the account, which could be written off for the purchase of additional services.

But the program turned out to be unattractive for customers over time, so it was closed on May 15, 2019, and customers were invited to join a new loyalty club called “MTS Cashback”. Therefore, in this review, we will discuss in detail personal account new program and its benefits.

Previously, in the MTS Bonus program, points were awarded for paying for communication services, the Internet, television, or purchases in the MTS store. At the same time, bonuses had a limited lifetime and subscribers constantly had to control the balance and the period of their expiration.

The new MTS Cashback program allows you to earn points only from purchases in partner stores, a list of which is presented on the project page. Their number has already exceeded 640. A distinctive feature of the new program is that now the points do not expire and have an unlimited lifespan.

On the right, a block of the entire affiliate network is displayed, grouped into the following areas:

1. Internet shops.
2. Offers from MTS.
3. Services and services.
4. Leisure, entertainment.
5. Trips.
6. Retail Stores.

Each section has a breakdown into subgroups, which greatly facilitates the search for a retail chain of interest. Partners are displayed on the page in the form of icons, which show information on the accrued cashback as a percentage of the amount paid.

You can also check the amount of accumulated points in your account. To do this, select the “My Account” section in the top menu. Information on the spent amount and available MTS bonuses will appear below.

Nearby is the “Add target” block. Here you can specify the amount of savings you are interested in, which can later be spent as a discount on purchases in MTS stores.

If you are interested in the issue of accrual history, then select the appropriate section on the left. A page will open on which you need to specify the period for viewing information. In addition, you can specify the status of bonuses. Several options are available:

1. “All”, that is, both currently available and decommissioned are displayed.
2. “Accrued”, that is, available now.
3. “Pending” – will soon be credited to your bonus account. The enrollment period is usually 1 business day, but sometimes it can be up to 90 days.
4. "Rejected". Such points usually include those that were first accrued, but then deducted due to the return of the goods.
5. “Written off”, that is, used as a cashback.

How to spend bonuses in your account

If you have accumulated a sufficient number of points, then they can be spent as a discount in the following areas:

1. Payment for cellular communications, Internet traffic, subscriptions and more. The withdrawal is made on the first day of each month.
2. Top up the personal account of your loved ones who are MTS subscribers.
3. Pay for the purchase in MTS stores.

Important! When joining the MTS Cashback program, the accumulated bonuses for paying for the operator's cellular communication are automatically written off every month on the 1st day.

To buy goods in MTS stores, you need to set a goal in your personal account. After reaching it, you will need to order the issuance of a certificate. And only upon presentation of it, the employees of the mobile operator's store will make a discount on the purchase of goods.

Certificates are issued in the following denominations: 100, 250, 500, 750, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500 rubles. and further with a multiplicity of 500 rubles. The maximum amount can reach 80,000 rubles.

At MTS, the upcoming closure of the bonus program, which was quite popular with customers, was explained by the fact that it had lost its relevance. But in return, it is already offered other services, more modern and profitable. About it Federal news agency reported in the press service of the company.

Clients of one of the leading in Russia mobile operators received SMS messages stating that the MTS Bonus program is closing on May 15, and they are invited to have time to use their previously accumulated points, otherwise after the specified date they will simply burn out.

“Modern MTS tariffs fully satisfy the needs for communication services,” the press service said. - They include a lot of Internet, large packages of minutes and SMS to all operators at home and on trips around the country.

Under these conditions, the MTS Bonus service has lost its relevance.

It is also noted that the company creates and develops new services that are more suitable for current conditions and allow savings. We are talking, in particular, about the MTS Cashback service, which allows you not to pay for communication at all, making the usual purchases on the Web.

There are also convergent offers of the All MTS service, when when connecting fixed-line services, mobile is already provided free of charge. And finally, the design is proposed bank card"MTS Smart Money": thanks to it, you can get a 100% discount on the fee at your own rate.

“These are simple and understandable ways to get communication discounts that most fully meet modern trends and customer requests,” the press service concluded.

Available bonus points can be spent on mobile communication services (packages of minutes, SMS and mobile Internet), melodies instead of beeps, entertainment (subscriptions to entertainment services) and options of the MTS Library service.

The bonus program has been operating since the late 2000s. By the way, the company refused to name the exact number of clients who used it, limiting itself to only one phrase: "We do not disclose."

Earlier in MTS about the launch of the WASD.TV media platform for cybersportsmen.

The MTS company on the official website informs that the MTS bonus program, which is already not particularly attractive, is closed.

After this accumulation will become inaccessible, the subscriber will no longer be able to use them.

"MTS Bonus" is a fairly old bonus program, the points received could be spent on traffic, minutes, SMS, discount coupons and much more. Recently, it has become less profitable, the cost of rewards has risen. As for the current tariffs, they have acquired solid packages of minutes and traffic. Accumulating bonuses has become unprofitable - they burn out faster than they accumulate.

In order to save up for the unfortunate 1 GB internet package, I had to wait 11 months, limiting myself in receiving other rewards.

The bonus program was only beneficial for subscribers spending large sums. But they, as a rule, do not know about any bonuses - it is easier for them to pay for additional minutes, Internet traffic and options.

Alternative

The operator thanked all its clients who actively participated in MTS Bonus and recommended spending all the points accumulated on the account by May 14th. From May 15, the loyalty program ceases to operate and all points are automatically canceled.

But instead of bonuses, the mobile operator offers its subscribers another way to save money, which is considered more modern and popular. Thanks to this, you can get up to 50% discount when buying familiar products.

1. More than 290 of the most popular online stores and services participate in the program.
2. Cashback reaches 50% of the amount spent.
3. You can get points not only for purchases on the Internet, but also for paying for operator services.
4. You can use the accumulated money to pay for communications, the Internet and other services. It is permissible to pay for purchases in branded communication stores.

The service is easy to use on the website and in a special application
MTS Cashback. You will learn about the accrual of points from messages, as well as in your personal account and in the mobile application.

All customers who participate in the program receive 200 rubles in cashback for their first purchase. Encouragement is also waiting for those people who invite friends, they are awarded up to 1000 points.

When participating in the program, the subscriber is automatically connected to the service - replenishment of the balance of the number.

What can you spend the accumulated bonuses on?

You can find out how many points you have in your account in your account. They can be exchanged for the following services:

• To pay for mobile communications. This includes free minutes, messages and additional internet traffic;
• To install melodies instead of beeps;
• For various entertainment subscriptions;
• For the use of the library;
• Payment for home Internet and television.

For all customers who did not have time to spend their points from the MTS Bonus program before May 14 inclusive, they are canceled. The company does not accept further claims in this regard.

Payment for MTS with Thank You bonuses from Sberbank does not work in 2020 - such a statement is more common than telephone company subscribers would like. Using the bonus program allowed them to save on cellular communications and reduce the cost of communicating with loved ones. But now it is no longer possible to use the accumulated points, no matter what method of replenishment the clients of both organizations adhere to. A similar function is not available in a personal account on the banking portal, and on the website of the mobile operator.

Given the convenience of the system and the sudden disappearance of such an economical and attractive feature, users are interested in answers to several questions at once:

• why I can not pay for the phone with accumulated bonuses;
• how to restore your favorite function;
• what led to the disappearance of the bonus payment;
• how to transfer money to the account.

Finding the right information will not cause huge difficulties for subscribers, although some nuances will remain without detailed explanations, since large companies do not always explain the motives for their decisions. Often they prefer to remain silent, simply putting the client before the facts. This also affects the situation when MTS stopped recognizing bonuses.

There is only 1 reason that users fail to save on smartphones and communications. It is explained by the fact that MTS does not accept "Thank you" from Sberbank, since it has left the list of partners of a financial institution. Consequently, all privileges relating to the telephone operator ceased to apply. There are several ways to verify this:

• visit the official portal of the current bonus program and review the list of partners and the rewards provided by them (for convenience, you should enter the name of the cellular company in the search bar);
• contact the bank support service and inquire about the reasons for the difficulties with paying for the mobile phone;
• call the call center of the telephone company and ask the same question to the consultants.

The answer and the result (in the case of an independent search for information) will be the same. The affiliate program of the two flagships of the Russian telephone and financial markets has been suspended, and therefore it is useless to count on the use of bonuses to pay for calls and mobile services. Subscribers should not waste precious time, it is better to immediately think about choosing alternative options for crediting finances to a SIM card.

MTS stopped accepting "Thank you" from Sberbank in 2020

After making sure that it is impossible to replenish the account using the accumulated accruals, you should think about the reasons for the difficulties. If you write and send a corresponding request, both organizations confirm that the payment of MTS with “Thank you” bonuses from Sberbank has been suspended, but not a single institution explains the motives that forced the unpopular decision to be made. There is no information with explanations on the official websites of the companies. Moreover, not a single institution even announced the adoption of such a decision.

But, despite the lack of information and official statements, some conclusions can be drawn. To do this, just look at the list of bank partners working in the field of telephone communications. It is extremely short, and of the large, well-known operators, only Megafon is present in it. But even it does not allow you to transfer money to the balance of a sim card, limited to payments for equipment and accessories. Consequently, depositing funds into the account turns out to be unprofitable and inconvenient for the bank and mobile companies, and therefore it makes no sense to count on a change in the current situation in the near future. It will not be possible to use the privileges received to pay for telephone communications and reduce the cost of communicating with friends and acquaintances.

What to do if MTS does not accept "Thank you" bonuses?

Having considered the main factors hindering the cooperation of the flagships of the Russian banking and telephone sectors and having figured out why MTS does not work with payment with Thank You bonuses from Sberbank, it remains to decide on the most convenient methods for crediting finance to a smartphone. To maintain a balance at a decent level, it is allowed:

• take advantage of personal account on the MTS portal;
• use Sberbank-Online, through which you can easily send the required amount to your own account;
• deposit finances through telephone banking by sending an SMS message with the desired amount to service number 900;
• turn on auto pay.
